The shore of luck.

 Happens with everyone I guess, but there are phases in life which are so bad and cruel to you, that you feel like you are falling into an endless pit. No success, no rays of light, no hope, no way out. And situations where you're either mistreated or insulted or feel victimized all the time. People dont understand you and dont care about you or your sound logical advice. Its like you are in the continuous presence of a dementor (read Harry Potter books to understand what it means.). Whatever you do fails, wherever you invest, there is loss and wherever you go is a dead end. Funniest part is the moment you start thinking that  you have had enough or when you feel that things have quietened down a bit, there comes a full barrage again. As if someone has called in for an air strike on you. Its like being hydrotested (not in a mood to explain technical terms. Read this one on the internet.) 

What can you do? Nothing. Period. Try all you want. In this phase, nothing works. The sooner you realise that you are going through this phase the better it is. Move, dodge, duck and let go of situations. Just dont take anything head on. Ride the tide. Just see to it that the boat doesnt capsize - that is dont lose your confidence, dont lose your wits.  Its difficult, but it is what it is and its there to stay for sometime atleast. Sit tight, sit it through and you will reach the shore of luck. 

And then as human nature goes, when you do reach the shore of luck, you wont even remember the nightmarish phase.
